Robyn & Joe: A September love story from Gaynes Park
Gaynes Park at a glance
Gaynes Park is a family-owned private estate on Banks Lane in Coopersale, around two miles from Epping, set high on the Epping Ridge with views of the London skyline. It’s exclusive use, with the Walled Garden, Orangery, Gather Barn and Mill Barn all yours for the day. Civil ceremonies are licensed for up to 150 guests in the Orangery, Gather Barn and Mill Barn, and the Mill Barn seats up to 150 for dinner, with 200 in the evening. A 10-bedroom Coach House, run independently, is on the estate.
It was a beautiful September day when Robyn and Joe exchanged their vows. As a provider of Gaynes Park wedding photography I was delighted to see the sun was shining, and the air was crisp and clear. The picturesque countryside surrounding the venue and the stunning views of the London skyline in the distance made for a perfect backdrop to the occasion.
Robyn and Joe are a fun-loving couple who have been together for several years. They share a love of travel and adventure, and their wedding day was no exception. They chose Gaynes Park for its modern facilities and stunning location, and they were not disappointed.
The ceremony took place in the famous Gaynes Park Orangery, overlooking the venue’s beautiful grounds. The natural beauty of the surroundings and the stunning views of the London skyline created a magical ambiance, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as Robyn and Joe exchanged their vows.
In conclusion, Robyn and Joe’s wedding was a beautiful and romantic occasion. The couple’s love of travel and adventure was evident in every aspect of the day, and their choice of venue was perfect. I try and document these days in a candid and reportage style that captures the essence of the day, providing the couple with memories that they will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a stunning wedding venue in Essex, Gaynes Park is definitely one to consider.

Kind Words
Matt was by far one of the best suppliers that we booked for our wedding. Words can’t quite describe how happy we were with his service and with our beautiful wedding photos. Everyone says you should invest in the things that are important to you, and for us that was the photos and the food!
From the minute we saw one of Matt’s photo albums at a Braxted Park open day, we fell in love with his work. We hadn’t booked a venue but I had already decided on our photographer. We then met Matt on zoom and instantly found him warm, professional and (quite) funny and we knew he’d be the sort of person we could both relax and feel comfortable around on our wedding day.
From then on, we couldn’t fault Matt’s approach, he put us both at ease and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Our photos show just how happy and relaxed we were, and a huge part of that is down to Matt. We are also extremely grateful to him for recommending our videographer David, and the two of them made us laugh all day.
We can’t thank Matt enough for capturing our day so perfectly, we are so in love with our photos and will treasure them (and continue to post them on instagram!) forever!

Photographing a Gaynes Park wedding
Robyn and Joe’s September wedding is a good example of how Gaynes Park works for photos. Their ceremony was in the Orangery, overlooking the grounds, and the view out to the London skyline is a backdrop that sets this venue apart. For portraits we headed into the countryside around the venue at sunset, where a golden meadow gave us some of my favourite frames of the day.
